OCULUS CHAIR
A mystery for many years, this chair is now an iconic and irresistible
invitation for luxurious relaxation and enjoyment.
Designed in 1960, Hans J. Wegner’s stunning Oculus Chair went into production
half a century later.
In examining the vast archives of the Hans J. Wegner Studio,
Carl Hansen & Søn came across a clay model of a previously
unknown lounge chair, along with photos of an early
prototype. A later discovery of Wegner’s drawings of the
chair enabled production to begin in 2010 in accordance
with the designer’s original vision.
“Oculus,” Latin for eye, refers to the eye-like shape in the
upholstery of the chair’s back. The pairing of an unusual
design with a supremely comfortable, supportive structure
made the Oculus Chair an instant favorite. The chair’s
curved, oversized backrest and large, sloping armrests
create an inviting nook for relaxation and provide a dramatic
contrast to the lightweight stainless steel legs. The bold
silhouette can serve as the centerpiece of any room on its
own, and functions well in groups.
The Oculus Chair is available with the matching
CH446 footstool for added comfort.
